Product Story

Our first seatpost (the Tall & Handsome) came about because Paul felt like he needed more setback for his Brooks saddles. So, we designed and machined a really nice, strong, simple, beautiful, easy-to-adjust 26mm setback seatpost, and it quickly became a cult classic. Since then, we’ve had a ton of requests for a zero offset version with the same elegant simplicity and “no cut corners” craftsmanship.

The first order of business was to space the bolts far enough away from the post that you can easily adjust them with a multi-tool on the side of the trail, or a torque wrench in the shop. Because we use two bolts, seatpost rail slippage is completely eliminated, and these two bolt-heads sit on spherical stainless-steel washers that allow them to pivot and self-align to the cradle. The top-clamp features two low-friction brass trunnions for super smooth and effortless tilt adjustment without binding.

Fore and aft position is adjusted by loosening both screws an equal amount and moving the saddle. The clamp can be adjusted to tilt the saddle’s nose up or down with a range of roughly 15 degrees overall. Precise micro-angle adjustments are made by loosening one screw and tightening the other. This also allows the use of oval carbon-railed saddles.

The shaft is precision ground in-house and the head is machined separately before being screwed and permanently bonded into the shaft.

As with all aluminum seatposts, it’s a good idea to periodically pull the post out of the frame, clean it, apply a thick coat of grease inside the seat-tube of the frame, and re-install. This keeps your post/frame from corroding and seizing, which could make it very difficult to remove years down the road.
